A true Chef's kitchen
Comments (22)ctycdm: Some of the best meals I had came from the neighbor I had in our first house. A lower class neighborhood. Her kitchen was maybe 9x6 or 9x7, roughly the size of my new pantry. I don't know how she did it, but she hosted amazing parties almost every weekend it seemed. Her entire house was less than 1000 sq. ft. but still, she made amazing food and her guests were always happy. I am blessed with the finances to afford an awesome kitchen and when I get caught up with all the minutiae of designing, I try to remember her and remember that it doesn't take a gourmet kitchen to produce gourmet food and it doesn't take a 5 star house to make your guests feel welcome....See MoreKenji Lopez-Alt/Serious Eats opens first restaurant Wursthall
Comments (2)Should be an interesting eating place. I am not sure it really is Kenji's restaurant, or he is just an investor. He is not known as a chef who turns out delicious recipes. I don't know if he has a famous cooking style. I have a feeling food at Wursthall will be similar to partners Adam Simpson and Tyson Mao's San Mateo’s Grape & Grain bar. dcarch...See MoreDon't like sous vide?
Comments (73)Artemis_ma, I had 146 written originally, but have changed it to 148 – thank you. OT: I woke up in the middle of the night last night, literally sat up, and almost said aloud “that is artemis ma’s kitchen!” Forgive me, I didn’t remember your reveal post, but I guess it’s been in my subconscious all the while… I love your kitchen (said that a while back, but worth repeating). I even remember a family member had made or found an incredible crazy-looking langolier-like (from a Stephen King book) metal creature sculpture with eating utensils which I adored! I hear you, I’m now in TN, where the humidity makes me soaked after 10 minutes outside. I loved NM, the heat so dry… but DH is here, so I am : ) Plllog, you have a good point. I was thinking if there were followers, or later someone searching, they’d like to hear a newbie’s experiences, but yes, this is a long thread now, and many might skip over some of this invaluable information accidentally. I’ll start a new thread but include reference to this one. I’m (again) saving your comments. I need to write all this out in a notebook – writing it again will help me remember without having to look up things every time. I put a towel over and around the container with my long-cook meat yesterday and had been watching the water level like a mother hen : ) Sherri, I’ll keep your comment in mind about fast sears. See? These types of learning experiences are so helpful and I feel others can also benefit! That’s what I’d read Islay! Endive with butter and ginger? Instant gratin? My brain is in joyful overload! Bragu, I’d never have thought of that combo, ever… will now! Sleeve, I think I will start a new thread.. Yes, I will put sous vide in the title : ) “In a 'part-2' thread I'd like to hear some recipes.” – Last night I was thinking the same thing! I’ll make that request and share what I’ve got thus far (which isn’t much, but it’s a start!). Ha! There’s a very happy dog at your home! Did you smile or grumble? I’d have done both! Ah, so you use it for lunches and tacos! Or were going too.. Oh my, that London broil… I hope I’m not sous vide’ing (OK, how do you say it???) the round sirloin tip roast too long… oh well, trial and error! Sleevendog, I know I sound dense, but to clarify: You had a London broil that had been sous vide earlier, then you smoked it 45 minutes at 180-200 F to finish? Because, I’m thinking I can get (even in this heat) the weber and pellet tube at 200 F… I have yet to pre-sous vide and freeze anything – because I need to get my times and temps down before doing several at once. This is so embarrassing, but it’s the only way to learn: I looked for a London broil last Tuesday - but I was also looking for Top Round (which I also couldn’t find). Now I understand London broil is Top Round or Flank Steak or the way it’s prepared??? I bought the ‘round sirloin tip roast’ because it was cheap, and have never bought one before (it’s about the same thickness I think as Sleeve’s London Broil pic). It’s my understanding the top round is more tender than the sirloin tip, but the sirloin tip has some flavor. I’ve stared at photos of cow cuts, read multiple beef articles and my brain is now sous vide! If anyone can clarify what a London broil is, I’d appreciate it!...See MoreI bought a cast iron skillet yesterday
Comments (37)Most of what I know about making pizzas I learned from the Pizza Making Forum. The people there are very helpful, and I have gotten quick responses to my questions. A lot of the members have their own pizza restaurants or have previously owned them. When in Cathedral City, I use our Ooni oven to make pizza, and it bakes in 90 seconds. I've made several of my own Youtube videos showing how to make pizza. I have also learned from Vito Lacopelli, and he makes better videos than Kenji that are more professional. I also prefer Vito's recipes, and I've made both. In L.A. I sometimes use a 14" diameter cast iron Camp Chef pizza pan: It's important to heat the pan before adding the pizza dough, and this is a bit tricky, but I add the toppings after I have put the dough onto the hot pan, and this has to be done quickly. More often I just put the dough on an aluminum pizza peel, and I can make a 16" diameter pizza this way, baking it on my pizza stone. My oven here only gets to 550°, but the Ooni oven will get to over 950°, which is why it bakes so quickly. If I want to make a Neapolitan style pizza here in L.A., I bake it in our Big Green Egg, which has its own pizza stone. The BGE will get above 1100°, but I try to keep it down to 930° for pizza. I don't do this unless I am having a pizza party with quite a few people, and that has not happened in quite a while....See MoreGooster
